Early Childhood Development celebrates the rich diversity of development among children in all neighborhoods in the United States and around the globe. It examines the physical, social, emotional, linguistic and intellectual characteristics of children from birth through age 8. Within each development domain, it considers the typical and atypical development of children of diverse cultures, abilities, socioeconomic backgrounds and gender identities. Hands-on applications, real-world stories and professional practice strategies bring the material to life.

The 8th Edition includes new research and trauma topics in every chapter. New sections explore the impact of COVID-19, Black Lives Matter and other current events.
